[  manicure  ]  sender  paints  receiver’s (ayano!!)  nails

@telereaped ➜ submitted!

          “  Shoka, sweetheart, make sure you’re applying a thin coat, last we need are air bubbles to take away from the gorgeous shade you’ve handpicked.  “  She sits there, right leg crossed over left, arm held out so the younger can keep her hand in position and glide the brush over her recently applied nails, watches the way the color glides by her hand.

“  Tell me. How are you adjusting? It’s felt like ages since we last got to spend any personal time together with the move and all, are you fairing alright, dear?  “  Ever since Shoka had joined the reapers, ever since her training, Ayano’s had a bit of a soft spot for her, as if she had been some long lost younger sibling she’d long to protect, to teach. She only wanted the best for her at the end of it all and can see how difficult the adjustment has been in her expression. In the way she responds to her. In so many ways.

“  You do understand that this is for the best right? Shiba wouldn’t lead us stray.  “

Despite her own concerns, the last thing she’d want is for Shoka to worry more than she more than likely had been already.  “  But enough about him for now,  “  the first hand is finished and she curls her fingers, not enough to risk forcing the wet paint staining skin or something else but to admire the work and blow against it, leaning the other hand her way so she can begin to paint that one.

“  You’re doing marvelous!  “

❝ ↪ @telereaped gets a surprise starter !!

" Shokie! There you are! Was starting to think you weren't going to show up for a second there! " there's no denying the way his cheeks dust a familiar shade of pink with the boxed item he keeps hidden behind his back. Something he'd been hard at work in an attempt to replicate in a way she couldn't criticize.

Or at least that's his very hope when he hands it over soon after so she can open it.

A new sweater styled and inspired by the Gatto Nero brand, the pattern stitched against the majority black with hot pink accented fabric.

" It's uh - it's starting to get cold out - and I know I could have just taken you to the shop and we still can! I just wanted to try something new first. "

They clear their throat and look away. ( It's a dumb attempt, isn't it? ) A temporary sense of doubt before he shakes it away in exchange for the familiar widespread grin.

" I totally knocked it out of the park! You'd look great in it! It'll go with the new skirt you got, totally used that for inspiration! "

@telereaped. closing your eyes and plugging up your ears won’t make time stand still. // hi rindo

that... should not be so jarring to hear. but rindo stares in surprise nonetheless, blinking in confusion. "i know you're swallow and all, but i'll be honest. i'm still getting used to you being fully capable of dishing out wisdom like that—uh." pauses, but not early enough to realize that he's said something stupid. "not that i don't feel grateful for your nuggets of wisdom. because you're obviously so much smarter than me."

"'sides, you know i'm done with that, shoka. no more reaper's game, no more fancy rewinding. i can't bring back your ice cream from yesterday even if i wanted to." although rindo does start walking a little faster, a strange sensation of discomfort. time. the word should no longer be terrifying now that they're far removed from the under ground. ( he cannot let himself imagine the ghosts that must be running through him now. ) "now c'mon, didn't you wanna take me somewhere?"

[gamereaped]

Shoka's phone chimes with a text message alert atop the FanGo app lighting up the screen. A small frown tugs at her lips and she tucks the device in her pocket. ❛ I gotta go. Mr. H beckons. I'll see you tomorrow, Rindragon. Later — ❜ Lips smack against his cheek, leaving a bright colored kiss mark behind. Her hands find themselves gripping the sides of her oversized hood, but she doesn't hide in it despite the pink that dusts over her cheeks. ❛ — I love you. ❜

          How much time had they managed to waste with their small talk and gathering of tiny creatures through their mobile screens with their latest FanGo outing? Truth be told, he might have lost track. He wasn’t sure if it happened two namazu ago  (  where he became extra distracted by the way they flopped over on the screen when their stats were brought up  )  or if time simply started to go by when Shoka started talking about something that he admittedly didn’t fully understand but might have been too nervous to say anything and back out of it. He’s still adjusting but he knows one thing is certain — he likes being around her.

....when did she get so close? His eyes attempt to locate hers but he’s quick to become stuck in his gaze when he notices she’s moving in closer. And before he even has the chance to say anything, he finds his cheek being marked from her lips when she kisses him and suddenly, finding any ability to speak is stolen from him.

I love you.

Did he hear that right? Did she just....after everything? There’s a hard beating against his chest when his heart skyrockets and his mind melts into mush. Say something back. She’s looking at you. He thinks to himself. Looks away again, attempts to clear his throat, and finally the first thing to come from his mouth in response.

“  Thank you.  “

. . .WAIT, WHAT? What just happened?

[hackereaped]

❛ If I fall, I'm taking you with me. This is a threat and a promise. ❜ Skates laced, Shoka gives a subtle glance around — just to make sure no one (especially certain older brothers she had filmed wiping out on a skateboard and then sent said video to their group chat) is around in case she ends up on her ass. And then she's pushing herself up from the bench, holding onto one of Rhyme's hand for support. The other quickly clutches onto Rhyme's other arm; she hasn't even moved and she's already wobbling. ❛ How are you even supposed to stand in these things? ❜

          “  Falling is part of the fun, you just get right back up and keep pushing on.  “  There’s a hint of teasing in Rhyme’s words of wisdom while extending a hand out to catch Shoka so she has something to hold onto while attempting to find her balance. In contrast, Rhyme’s standing with ease, balanced and remaining firm in their stance where she can’t even try to attempt and hide the amused expression which paints her features.

“  Takes time and practice, just hang on alright?  “

Rhyme remembers when Beat got her their first pair of skates, the wobbling, the attempt at standing and even trying to move a few inches had been a challenge she was quick to overcome with his help. Having someone to catch you when you fell really made learning easier in Rhyme’s opinion, now she plans to do the same for her in return.

“  Wanna learn a secret?  “  The expression on Shoka’s face tells her all that she needs to know. She’s playing stubborn but can read the curiosity in her eyes while attempting to figure out how the skates are meant to work and keep her up.  “  It’s all in the knees, find your balance with that and you’re well on your way to being a pro in no time!  “

Rhyme pushes off a foot, taking a nice slow start and encouraging the other to keep holding on and move with her, almost like when she’d cling to Beat while he was on his skateboard.  “  If it feels like it’s too much, let me know, I’ll stop.  “

... Definitely filming — part because it's actually pretty cool to watch, part to make sure it's caught on video if he wipes out.

    “C’mon Kitty Girl, you got any moves?”

[  fashion  show  ]  sender  tries  to  help  receiver  choose  an  outfit

@telereaped ➜ submitted!

          “  I could always throw on my favorite overalls and sweater and call it a day.  “  Based upon the expression painted across their girlfriend’s features, Rhyme removes their hat to hide their own playful expression, assessing if she needed some sort of defensive game play in motion just in case. Rhyme scoots back on their bed, watching while Shoka digs through their closet and tosses rejects to the side.

The hat which acted as Rhyme’s temporary bodyguard set down when they notice the black article of clothing she managed to locate and tug out. Something about this being best suited for where she planned to take them. Not that Rhyme really knew where this surprise plan had been anyways to provide any input from their end. They trust her judgement.

“ You want me to try that on? I can’t even remember the last time I actually wore that anywhere.  “  Jumps up from the bed to take the top, examines it for a bit now that it’s in their hands.  “  I think we can make this work.  “

[  chin  ]  sender  lifts  receiver’s  chin  up. (see it's funny because shoka's shorter)

@telereaped ➜ submitted!

          Rhyme feels the fingers against their chin and as it dawns upon them exactly what’s happening, they already feel the tilt of their head from the smaller female, can’t even try to hide the obvious grin while pink dusts at their cheeks.  “  My eyes are up here Shoka.  “  There’s a quick point before they’re reaching up to remove their hat and place it on top of her head in exchange, quick to lean in for a swift smooch if anything to see her own cheeks start to turn colors.
